the doctor was working for the cia. he has relatives in the u.s.a. pakistan convicted him of treason simply because he helped us find the al qaeda leader. everyone from president obama to secretary clinton to secretary of defense leon panetta has politely asked pakistan to commute the sentence and send the doctor to this country. pakistan has refused. publicly the obama administration has done nothing, nothing in the face of that refusal again talking points believes there are behind the scenes negotiations but the whole thing makes america look weak in the eyes of the world. there is no question that the pakistani government is playing to the jihadist the muslim radicals whom they want to apiece. if a good man like dr. afridi can be persecuted for bringing the world's biggest villain to justice, then there is no justice. and other people will not help us. so president obama must get involved and address the situation publicly. is that too much to ask, mr. president? now, i am one who believes that mr. obama done a pretty good job at foreign policy.
